Joy chenn Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 I use g4x fury to match a motocycle engine,which engine is running on crank missing tooth,and have no cam sensor.The official tutorial says this mode the ECU knows 360deg of the engine ,but the engine cycled 720deg.How can it run? The ecu only knows the engine is on tdc but how can it know it's now firing tdc or exhaust tdc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 With multitooth/missing mode trigger mode and sync mode set to none (no cam sensor), then the ecu will still run in sequential, however it will only sync randomly since there is no way to know if you are on exhaust stroke or compression stroke. So approximately 50% of start attempts the ecu will start sparking on the correct stroke and the engine will start. And approx 50% of start attempts the ecu will start sparking 360deg out so the engine will not start. For your information, with motorcycle engines with no cam sensor, if you have individual throttle bodies per cylinder, then you can connect a map sensor to 1 intake port and the ecu will be able to use that to sync instead of a cam sensor.

Joy chenn Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Oh thanks,you mean the ecu just simply try the two stroke ,if right irun if not change to another stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 No, sometimes it will spark on the wrong stroke and will never fire even if you crank forever. You have to stop cranking, allow the engine to stop rotating, then try again. Just like flipping a coin, sometimes it will land on heads, sometimes it will land on tails.

Adamw Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Wire the map sensor to AN Volt 1. Make sure the calibration is correct so that it reads the same as BAP with engine not running. Then disable fuel or ignition so it can’t start and do a trigger scope capture while cranking. Attach the scope file here and I will help you with settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
